Description:
I am trying to ssh-tunnel to my database and wanted to store the ssh command in the name-field:

DBonServer:  ssh -C hauser@myserverhost.ch -L 33306:privasphere.softborg.ch:3306 -f "sleep 30"

How to repeat:
press "add" when entering the new connection
or "apply" when editing it.

You'll see
"An Error occurred while saving the Connection"

But no hint why:
- is my disk full?
- ???

Suggested fix:
apparently, it was the quote (") that is not allowed in the name

--> enhance the error dialog to mention that

The connection's name is also the file's name that MySQLCC creates
and follows the Windows's file name convention so for to work please
remove the double quotes around "sleep 30" in this way I was able
for to create that connection name.
